Former Army intelligence officer Ray Starmann wrote an open letter to Khizr Khan, detailing exactly his opinion of today’s Islam.

“I wish to offer my sympathy for the death of your son, Capt. Humayun Khan, who was killed in action in Iraq. As a former U.S. Army officer, and a veteran of the Gulf War, I can certainly understand the pain and anguish that you and your wife endure every day,” he began.

Oddly enough, he commended the son on biblical principle.

“Your son died saving the lives of his fellow soldiers. As Jesus told his disciples, according to the Gospel of John, ‘Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends,'” he said.

He then pressed into the issue with the real issue of Khan’s emotional assertions: Khan and his family assimilated into American culture, but there are many Muslims who do not.

“When you and your family arrived to America from Pakistan, you assimilated into our country. You adopted American ways, learned our history and apparently you even acquired a pocket Constitution along the way,” he wrote.

That Constitution was famously used in a challenge to GOP nominee Donald Trump, in which Khan asked Trump if he had even read it.

“But, there are many Muslims in America who not only have no desire to assimilate, but wish to live under Shariah Law,” he continued. “That is unacceptable to Americans. There is only one law of the land. That is the U.S. Constitution.”

He also made an important point about how people perceive Islam in 2016, and he backed it up with examples.

“Your religion of peace, Islam, is anything but that in 2016,” he wrote. “That is a fact that is confirmed every time a Muslim shoots, bombs, beheads and tortures innocent men, women and children. This does not mean that every Muslim is a terrorist, but most terrorists, sir, are indeed Muslims.”

“A Muslim terrorist attack has become the sign of the times,” he concluded.

I wonder if Khan will have anything to say in defense of that. It’s hard to imagine what it might be.
